I will say though, dismissing Rob Von Behren in the area of async vs. sync IO with an anecdotal paragraph is a ballsy move. (i.e. "wrong approach")



I've been misunderstood. I have not commented at all about whether sync or async IO is better. I meant that if you have a long operation that blocks for a while, letting it consume a kernel thread is bad.
